In video-based 3D point cloud compression, the quality of the reconstructed 3D point cloud
depends on both the geometry, and color distortions. Finding an optimal allocation of the …

Blade characteristic parameters evaluation plays an important role in quality monitoring and
processing. In this research, a new blade profile extraction and edge completion strategy is …
